I am writing this blog while listening to the song entitled, "Thinking Out Loud" by Ed Sheeran. I don't know why I've played it for like 5 times now and I can't help but listen to the message of the song and think about the music video. I don't know what to write about as writing a new year's resolution is just too mainstream. I was planning to write about my year but I guess it's just too boring. So, I think I'd share to you the things that I am thankful for and the things that I am planning to do for the coming year. Everyday I wake up at 5:30 am to prepare for my day of school and work. 6 times a week I have to go out and do my share of work in this world. You may probably ask me why and how I'd manage to work and study at the same time. Well, here's my answer: PURPOSE. I have a purpose to fulfill. I wish to work to develop my skills so that someday I'll achieve my hopes and dreams of becoming a successful individual i

December- the year 2014 is about to end and we will once again welcome a year of happiness and sadness, success and failures, love and loss, hope and faith. 20 years of celebrating the Christmas season made me see and realize some of life's important lessons and experiences. I could still remember the time when my parents introduced to us Mr. Santa Claus. They told us that we have to sleep and then wake up some time at 12 midnight to open our gifts from this guy. I was having doubts at that time at whether to believe my parents that Santa Claus exist or not. But I tried to sleep and yes, I woke up at 12 midnight and voila! I received a gift wrapped in a shiny paper. It was big! When I opened it, I received a new toy. It was not unusual for me and my brothers to receive new toys since our parents would buy us new ones whenever we visit the malls but the toy that I received on Christmas Day was an unusual one. You know what I received? It was an office set for a doll

Achievement Unlocked! It's official! I am now a graduate of the Alternative Learning System-Dressmaking class before the year 2014 ended. :3 I didn't expect my parents to come since the parents were not required or asked to attend but they did because they wanted to take a photo of me on my graduation day. ♥ So while we were lining up for the processional march, my father was already standing next to our line looking for me and he took this photo! I waited for our class to be called on stage to receive our certificates and when we had our turn, my mother took a photo :3 I'm happy that both of my supportive parents attended my 2014 graduation day! :))  My mother just took multiple photos :))  Since my mother was the one who took the photos, we don't have a picture together. :) So it's official. 5-6months of training ends today. I couldn't thank our facilitator Mrs. Nenita Lorenzo enough for being the best teacher ever! She is

Achievement Unlocked! Woohoo for the early morning surprise! I can't help but feel a mini heart attack when I knew that the results were out. I've prepared for that exam for weeks and even had a one last study time with my brother a night before the examination. The agony of waiting for the results is over! It's finally out! My brother and I passed the Civil Service Examination in just one take! For God's greater glory!

I once again placed myself in an unexpected situation. After my law class, I visited the volunteer center and was invited to attend the Enneagram retreat last Saturday. I didn't know what to expect but I decided to join a few minutes before 7:30pm of Saturday. I didn't know the exact location of the place where I was headed for the retreat so I had to ask for directions. Yes, I was all alone. It was night time. And I was a little bit afraid.  When  I arrived in the venue I was asked to answer a questionnaire with 144 items that made me think of how I was in my 20 years of existence. I was late for the retreat but I was able to catch up. I finished answering and got the result. My highest score is 22 which is equal to the first personality. I am a reformer. What then is a reformer?  Based on the definition of the reformer, what applies to me is the part where it says that a reformer is principled, idealistic, conscientious, ethical, with a strong sense of ri

Lately, I've been experiencing something different from the usual when I started working. One of those unusual and exciting experience is when I was tasked to be a project head for my first event with the company. I have been a project head for various projects since my first year in college and this though the process is the same, the people I was with in the team as well as the people that I was able to meet was different from the usual people I was able to work with. So before the event started, here's a photo of my team! :3  You might wonder what event I am talking about. Well, it's the Lulu Dk Pre-Selling Event at the Spruce LimKetkai. I took a photo of my Lulu Dk tattoo before the event proper. Here's to my gold tattoo! Lulu Dk is a designer and artist. You should check out her website. I love the designs of the scarfs! She used a touch of gold and silver on it! ♥ The team prepared the place like this!  It's a bush with cute sunnies!
